All,

I'm using the following code in a blank page:

public void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
...
XmlDocument xdoc = new XmlDocument();
xdoc.LoadXml(receipt.getIndividualReceipt(a, b));
}

How can I show the XML data that is in xdoc without saving the file
locally (which I'm not sure is even possible) and opening it?

Thanks in advance.

I should probably clarify this a little, I'd like to display the data
in raw form similarly to opening an XML file that doesn't have any
kind of style sheet. Thanks.

You can apply an xslt withoug saving the file
Or d you mean woth want to stream it out to the screen

You could output xdoc.OuterXml.

I'd like to stream it out to the screen.

I understand how this would work:

Console.WriteLine(xdoc.OuterXml);

But what should replace the Console.WriteLine if outputting to a blank
page?

Ok, so I figured out that I needed Response.Write. Sheesh.

That seems to render the XML string returned from SQL server without
the element tags and all ran together. I loaded an XML doc with the
string (xdoc.Load(SqlResult). Response.Write has a constructor for an
object parameter but I get an error if I use xdoc as the parameter.
I'd like to render xdoc on the screen formatted with the element tags
and indenting. Why wouldn't I be able to use the xdoc object in
Response.Write?

Sorry that should have been xdoc.LoadXml(SqlRequest).
